Time Series Sub-tab
The Time Series sub-tab of the Database panel is the UI for ArcadeDB’s native time-series types: create and drop types, query them with a builder or PromQL, see the result as a chart and a raw table, and find ready-made ingestion snippets for InfluxDB Line Protocol, SQL, Java and Grafana.
See Time Series for the underlying concepts.
Under the sub-tab bar, a toolbar shows the Type Selector, which lists every TimeSeries type in the selected database along with its record count. Two buttons sit next to it:
-
Create TimeSeries Type — open a modal to define a new type (timestamp column, tags, fields, sharding, retention, downsampling).
-
Drop Type — irreversibly delete the selected type.
The sub-tab has three inner tabs: Query, Schema and Quick Tour.
To chart a time series from the Query panel instead, pick the PromQL (Time Series) language there, or run a SQL query against the type and open the Chart tab (see Chart).
Query
The default sub-tab. It has two modes, toggled at the top:
Builder mode offers structured controls — no need to write a query by hand:
-
Time Range —
Last 5 min,1h,24h,7d,All, orCustom(which exposes From and To datetime inputs). -
Aggregation —
None,AVG,SUM,MIN,MAX,COUNT. -
Bucket Interval —
1s,10s,1m,5m,1h,1d. -
Tag Filters — one input per indexed tag of the selected type.
-
Fields — checkboxes to pick which numeric measures to plot.
-
Query — run with the current filters.
-
Latest — fetch the most recent point per series.
-
Auto-Refresh —
Off,10s,30s,1m.
PromQL mode exposes a textarea where you can type a PromQL expression and execute it with the Run button or Ctrl+Enter / Cmd+Enter.
Below the controls the panel shows the Query Stats label (record count + elapsed ms), the Chart and the Data Table.
Each of the two visualisations can be toggled on or off independently.
The Chart is an ApexCharts line/area chart; toggle the style from the chart toolbar. The Data Table is a paginated grid of the raw (or aggregated) values returned by the query.
Schema
Shows the schema of the selected type: timestamp column, indexed tag dimensions, numeric fields, shard count, retention policy and downsampling policies.
Quick Tour
Inline documentation cards with copy-ready snippets for common tasks:
-
Creating a TimeSeries type in SQL.
-
Ingesting data via InfluxDB Line Protocol (
curlexample). -
Inserting points with SQL
INSERT. -
Using the Java API to write points.
-
Analytical SQL functions (
ts.rate(),ts.percentile(), etc.). -
Configuring downsampling and retention.
A second section covers the Grafana integration: how to point the Infinity datasource at ArcadeDB, the available HTTP endpoints (/health, /metadata, /query), metadata discovery, the DataFrame format and a curl example.
